Nicholas Hoult's Angora Sweater

I watched A Single Man twice, and I have fallen in love with the white angora sweater Nicholas wears throughout the film. I have been trying to find something similar and have been browsing through eBay and websites selling angora and mohair. But no such luck. It seems Nicholas's sweater was custom-made by a weaver in England. This is what Nicholas said about it in a recent interview:

"Oh the angora sweater? Yes, it definitely had a life of its own. It got a lot more attention than me, most of the time, whereby it would frizz up under the hot lights and need to be hair-sprayed down, because it would get too fluffy. It needed a lot of attention. I’ve become quite intimate with that sweater."

But no, it seems he didn't get to keep it. He calls it 'terrible,' anyway -- don't think he deserves to keep it.

By the way, I was going through the latest issue of V Man the other day, and Nicholas is the new face of Tom Ford (see image below). I don't really like the blazer on him, though. He is too young to pull it off. It'd have looked great on Jon Kortajarena (THE face of Tom Ford who plays the male prostitute who tries to seduce Colin Firth in the film). By the way, I was watching an interview of Nicholas Hoult on YouTube and it seems he had no idea who Tom Ford was before the film.
